In the far future, mankind has been all but destroyed and survivors are forced to hide from "Them" – giant insectile creatures that have taken over the world - with only savage genetically engineered dog-soldiers like Gene the Hackman to guard them. Having travelled the Earth without his pack, Gene now leads a band of mongrel "aux" warriors known as the Wild Bunch. They live alongside some human survivors in The Kingdom.
